After a previous held Hermes discussion, the users have decided not to use Hermesanymore. The functionality needed can be found as freeware programs. What will be donewith the Hermes stations is not yet decided.

Freja have been upgraded with more memory, from 4 Gb to 16 Gb.

Idun is dead. RIP. Some of her parts may be recycled.The space will be used as workplace byMahsa Fatahi.

Olof expressed a wish to have SPSS progam installed on the PACS station. Eva will bring it tothe board meeting. Another suggestion was installation of E-prime, which is a program forpsychology experiment design, implementation, and analysis, mostly used by our fMRIfellows.

Eva informed that she has made a Formal consent template, which is needed when you areusing data from PACS. You need to get

a Formal consent from the Head of radiologydepartment for your specific project if you are using PACS data.
